LAMP-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION-forming part of Letters Patent no. 725,335, dated April14, 1903. Application filed m 26, 1902. smart. 108,951. (No model.)

To (ZZZ whmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR F. GLAEssNER, of Meriden, in the county ofNew Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new andusefullmprovement in Lamp-Stoves; and

I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection withtheaccompanying drawings and the numerals of reference marked thereon, tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which saiddrawings constitute part of this specification, and repre sent, in--Figure 1, a View in side elevation of my improved lamp-stove; Fig. 2, aview thereof in vertical section; Fig. 3, a broken view showing one modeof suspending the lamp from the legs of the jacket-standard; Fig. 4, abroken reverse plan view of the Water-pan; Fig. 5, a broken sectionalview showing another mode of constructing the j acket-standard forestablishing a draft of hot air around the waterpan, and Fig. 6 adetached broken sectional view showing one of the modified constructionswhich may be employed for supporting the lamp.

My invention relates to an improvement in lamp-stoves, the object beingto increase their efficiency and make them more sightly in ap- I edgewith an outwardly-extending rim 6,

formed with projections 7, which rest upon the upper edge of the shellor jacket and support the said flange sufficiently above the said edgeto form a circular draft-space 8. Under this construction the body ofthe water-pan is inclosed in a circular hot-air chamber 2, formed by theshell or jacket, which 'depth as compared to its diameter.

is deeper than the pan, though shallow in The water-pan 5 receives theusual food-pan 9, which is provided with a cover 10.

The lamp 12 is an alcohol-lamp of any approved construction and locateddirectly below the opening in the shell or jacket 2. As

herein shown, it is supported by three outwardly-extending arms 13, theouter ends of which are'inserted into holes 1e, formed in the-innerfacesof the upper ends of the legs 3'of the standard.

By reference to Fig. 2 of the drawings it will be seen that acirculation of hot air is established through the chamber 2 and aroundthe water-pan by the jacket, which confines the hot air and compels itto envelop and encircle the water-pan before it leaves the lampstove,whereas in ordinary lamp-stoves the hot air is free to escape laterallyand is practically effective only directly upon the bottom of thewater-pan.

By preference the jacket-standard will be made of porcelain,'stoneware,or some other vitrified material,because that presents a fineappearance, maybe easily and richly decorated, and is very easily keptclean; but of course it may be made of metal, if preferred,

and-the legs may be made integral with it or attached to it; but whethermade of vitrified material or metal it may be made in a great variety offorms as long as it is adapted to inclose the foodpan in such a way asto get the maximum advantage of the heat generated by the lamp.

Of course the draft may be established in a variety of ways. As shown inFig. 5, the water-pan 15 rests upon a rim 16, formed integral with thejacket 17, the said rim being furnished with vent-holes 18.Obviously,also, other means may be employed for suspending the lamp fromthe standard-as, for instance, by means of a clip 19, applied to theedge of the bottom of the jacket, as shown in Fig. 6. I would thereforehave it understood that I do not limit myself to the. exact constructionshown and described, but hold myself at liberty to make such alterationstherefrom as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a lamp-stove, the combination with a shell made of some vitrifiedmaterial, such as porcelain, semiporcelain or stoneware, provided withintegral feet or legs and formed in its bottom and between its legs witha central opening, of a water-pan adapted to be set into the shell uponthe upper edge of which it is supported, and by which it is inclosed,the said water-pan being shallower in depth than the shell, a food-panadapted to be set into the Water-pan, and a lamp applied to andsupported by some part of the shell and 10- cated with reference to thecentral opening in the bottom thereof so that the heat of its flameimpinges against the bottom of the water-pan and passes over the sameand up around the sides of the said pan and escapes no ARTHUR F.GLAESSNER.
